Ok. Putting up the boat for the winter. 2020 Alumacraft Competitor Sport. Evinrude 175 etec g2. Winterized the motor, fuel is full and stabilized, oil is full. All ropes, towels, rags, pfds are out and stored. The boat is in our detached garage.
Now a few questions. I was going to leave the three batteries in. I really have nowhere indoors to store them. I was hoping that plugging in the charger periodically would be ok.
Hatches, open or closed?
Cover, on or off?
Mice. Mmmm. Used to store my old Smoker Craft in my father in laws barn. Never found a way to totally prevent mice from getting in the boat. How do they get in??? This garage is pretty tight, but those buggers are sneaky. I’ve tried moth balls, dryer sheets. any ideas?
